VINTAGE 74 REISSUE JAZZ / MODS - * SOLD * £450 Witney , West Oxfordshire

[fleabag]

Vintage 74 reissue in vintage white, Maple neck, maple fingerboard, block inlays.  Body is ash.

I've owned the bass from new,  and upgraded the pickups to Bartolini Classic Deeptones.

The preamp is now an East Retro 01 with battery + black stack knobs.  Bridge is now a Fender Hi-Mass. 

Bass is in exceptional condition, as i bought just before lockdown, and of course everything all went chest up after that.  Bass has never left my lounge. Pickguard has the odd blemish here and there due to playing at home over the last  18 months.

Comes with a really decent Thomann padded case ,  but no hard case.  This stops me posting it, though it can be posted if any buyer wants to arrange this.

I'm also lobbing in a Gaucho Buffalo lace leather strap ( mint ) which was around £25  and a set of DR Sunbeams as fitted.

Sorry, no trades. Just thinning the herd, as they say.

Oh,  i've decided if anyone wants to arrange postage, i will cover the cost upto 25 squids

Does the J Retro have a passive tone on it, or just the bypass switch?

[fleabag]

It has a passive tone,  and when you flick the switch to passive, the other switch then gives the option of a passive blend of both pups, or just the bridge pup

Thanks. I couldn't find the download, didn't look hard enough, I guess. 

So it doesn't have a passive tone cut, just the ability to run passively...?

[fleabag]

It can run passively, yes, and you have the option to have both pups in passive, or just the bridge pup
